Her reply did help soothe his uneasiness, at least to some degree. He made a short mental note to never think so damn hard about the proposal again. Like most things in life, the more you overthink something, the scarier it becomes when in reality it is never anything more than one can handle easily. Letting his mind get dragged deep into a pit of doubt would do his relationship and trust in Persephone no good; no matter the outcome, it would never be as terrible as his mind would make him think it'd ever be. Persephone was a kind, gentle and wonderful soul who he was lucky to have ever met in the first place.

The feeling of her hand in his was a surprise, but he didn't pull his hand away from her grasp--instead, giving it a gentle squeeze right back as if to see if it were true that it was her hand gently holding his own.

Perhaps if he were one of his brothers, it'd be a bigger deal. "Oh! Yes, secret bedroom with a secret room. Almost forgot about the whole point of our secret rendezvous." He then continued to lead the way to the said room in question, a little pep in his step as he went.
